# Grid # vs Grid

The clearest difference is ads: Grid at none against Grid #'s shown. Grid also leads on review sentiment (89% vs 66%) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 3 months). Grid #'s advantage is ratings volume (10K vs 792) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 17.6). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Grid # sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Grid sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.6 for Grid # against 4.7 for Grid. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Grid # has 10K ratings behind it against 792, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 66% of Grid #'s written reviews are positive against 89% of Grid's.

Grid # ships an update every 3 months, Grid every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on September 24, 2026.
